It is that. But that is just one dimension of what it is. That's like saying a $100 bill is just cotton paper with designs printed on it. That is true, but you're missing the vastly powerful other dimensions to what the money is, does and represents.

I wish it were possible for me to show you how ignorant and ridiculous you sound to me.

>schizophrenic
there is that word again. it's very interesting that everyone here has been programmed to call any idea outside of strict and fundamental materialism "schizo", did you ever stop to question why that word was memed?

>>4318372
Paper bills were made to be used as an exchangable generic object in trades. They physically represent the concept of currency, thats it. You don't even need them anymore in order to use currency, banks just tell eachother how much you owe them and to you in computer numbers.
A camera body gets an image projected by lenses onto a light-sensitive medium to form a photograph, either via various electronics or photon-reactive molecules.
There's no metaphysical aspect to either, you're deluding yourself

>>4318982
Because I already hammered them all, like you'd expect from a man with four hammers

>>4318984
So you're done with photography?

>>4318986
In a sense, I am. In that it would be vulgar to call using a Pentax merely "photography", when it is a completely different order of artistic creation

why would it affect focus?

>>4318853
It should have no relation to the lens focal length, you are relying on the distance scale. Properly calibrated rangefinder will say 10ft, set lens to 10ft, and so on.

What kind of point n shoot has a focus helicoid with distance scales? Let alone manual focus?

>>4318937
that's the issue, if i'm understanding it correctly. the dof is so shallow that i get insane blurring and a resultant loss of dynamic range when it gets stacked together.

>>4318943
A bigger sensor will give you an even shallower DoF

>>4318944
wait, so that means the problem i'm experiencing should be even worse with a full frame. if that's the case then why the fuck is full frame better for macro? it seems like it should be worse.

you are retarded and so is he
just stop down and turn the flash up, same DOF, higher quality

a larger sensor can capture more light so give it more light to capture. raising the ISO just makes it look like a crop sensor but sharper with more megapixels.

KEK, no
The 8x8 chunk size in JPEG favors bayer far more than fuji's 6x6
if Fuji wanted to be based, they would simply release an 8x8 pattern and include things like panchromatic luminance samples, IR, UV, yellows, and various bands of greens/reds in that 64 to generate some kind of super pixel but instead they're just doing weird non-bayer non-beneficial meme shit jsut to generate worms

it is a bit squat

My secret to great cheap bokeh is the MC 105/2.8. It’s slow to focus but it does amazing headshots.

105 f1.4 has more blur for the same subject framing
85 f1.2 and even 1.4 also have more blur for small subject to background distances (like 3-10m)

>>4318602
>105 f1.4 has more blur for the same subject framing
thats a retarded way of coping that it has less bokeh. also i'm not sure why you would be retarded enough to put a 200 f/2.8 in there when it should be a f/2

Not really. Unless you count extremely wide FOV VR cameras. The last proper consumer stereo cameras were the FinePix Real 3D W3 (2010) and the Lumix DMC-3D1 (2012).

>photography has fallen into a realism hole
yep but it's just one style of photography, one that dominates the market, but still only one style. there are a lot of photographers trying to create something surreal, impressionistic or atmospheric than realistic. probably the first thing that comes to mind is that whole "backrooms" aesthetic, which has really exploded as a genre of processing images: lots of noise and compression, blown-out highlights and psychedelic colours, or simply a "degraded" look which is supposed to evoke a poorly-remembered past or grim future, not something realistic. I understand you're describing the general market view of photography as a process but there's definitely a weird, creative and experimental underground even to this day. As long as there's another generation growing up with cameras there will always be photography from new perspectives.
>>4312338
overlooked comment.
wide angle lens are good for shooting indoors or in other cramped spaces like alleyways, cars or trains.

unfortunately I can't contribute with a wide-angle lens photo of my own so here's a cool one from this page:

Anyway, here's something that was filmed on a camera that's older than you & me.

>hurr my pixel peeping

fuck off retard
just throw something decent on it (aka german or japan made filter) to prevent it from travel or polizei damage

DO NOT DO THIS ON EARLY COATED LEITZ LENSES!!!!!! Fuck me I found out the hard way Zeiss had the patent on hard coatings in the 1950s.

Even using optical cleaner and lightly rubbing the surface with a microfiber cloth I still damaged the coating. Kodak cameras from the period with coated optics, shit like the Signet and Medalist can do this too.

>>4315726
If you care about cleaning damage to lens coatings, use a protective filter and clean that. Dishwashing fluid and water works for dirty filters.
>>4318459
Even basic $5 multicoated UV filters from ChinkExpress are optically good enough for handheld snapping. Expensive brandname filters do have better coatings and noticeably better quality frame.

>>4318459
its about 100$ and the based krauts or japs make it so you know it's good

>>4316888
That sounds like it will just create a bad habit. Just get your frame right in the camera

>>4313214
colors are nice, everything else is old piss

get a nice 50mm and just shoot with that lens for a while to help you really concentrate on your framing. maybe get a book on composition just to get your brain thinking about it
good colors. i can appreciate some film blur, i love shooting with disposable cameras, but like i said buy a nice lens

>>4313214
nice attempt, it would have been better if both subjects weren't cropped
>>4313215
I like that you have multiple subjects with deep DOF, it would have been better if you didn't crop the dominant tree on the left
I suggest you leave extra negative space on all sides of your photos then just crop them later. sometimes, the viewfinder lies

The Ricoh GR1 was always an expensive sought after camera. The current $500-600 eBay prices aren't too far off the $400-600 prices quoted by Japan Camera Hunter in 2012. They were sold at around $450 in 1997 ($880 in 2024 dollars). Not a lot of cameras like it so they've held their value even the build quality didn't match the price.

so, will Ricoh bring back the built-in fill flash in the next version?
